Pastor Jackson Senyonga, the founder of Christian Life Church located along Makerere – Kavule, a neighborhood within Kampala, will host the President of the Republic of Uganda HE General Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The function organised days since the President addressed close to 55,000 Born-Again Christian leaders earlier this week, will be held on Friday, 27th September, 2019.
In a statement late Thursday evening, Pastor Senyonga said the President will deliver a keynote address during the Praise, Prayer, Power, Prosperity and Permanent Miracle (P5) Pastor’s retreat happening at the ministry headquarters.
The retreat started 24th September, 2019, drawing multitudes of Pastors from all across the region. Regarding why he stated the retreat, Pastor Senyonga said there are several Pastors “going out into the field” without the presence of God.
“Ministry success is not money or people. It is not power or fame. It is breaking through every obstacle to be a man or woman of His presence,” he said, quoting Mark 3:14 which says, ‘He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach.’
During His meeting with Pastors at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala on Monday, President Museveni said he will engage pastors to fight poverty and ensure Ugandans live decent lives.
He also pledged to look into the ‘controversial’ Faith and Religious based Organisation policy drafted by Ethics and Integrity Minister Father Simon Lokodo.
“The Lokodo issue, we shall discuss it biblically. I have not had time to discuss with Lokodo and I don’t know why he is wasting his time. Simon Peter did not go to the seminary when Jesus called him,” President Museveni said.
‘‘His proposal should not be blown out of proportion, but can be discussed in a round-table with all the other religious leaders… We shall discuss because I don’t see a big issue here. Of course the Catholic and the Anglican church train their priests. You can look at the advantages that are there, but then what do we do with Simon Peter who was just a fisherman and Jesus told him, stop fishing and become a fisher of men?” the President continued.
“I will call all of you, Lokodo, the other religious leaders, the archbishops, the mufti, and we will talk and see what is good for the word of the Lord,” the President added.
The Church leaders asked the President to include them in the government’s Operation Wealth Creation programme and pledged their unconditional support to him, sources reported.
